    Pretty decent Rice Paper (egg?) Rolls but they are tiny, like one bite each
    Kat D.

    Kind of disappointed. Maybe it's because I'm used to the punchy flavor of a good South Viet pho ga, but this chicken pho flavor was extremely subdued in flavor. Honestly it felt like it was missing a good amount of salt to bring out the herbs and spices. Good lemongrass flavor but that alone doesn't cut it. The chicken itself was nice and tender, but again without the slightly salty flavor infused into the meat, it just fell flat. Noodles were a tad soft and overcooked but that could also be regional, I just don't know. I've heard such great things about this pho and the promo videos they've done seemed promising, so I'm hoping this was just a fluke. Service was friendly, no complaints. Maybe they should just turn the Crabhut into a Pho spot since everyone that day was there for pho and not Crabhut in this economy.

    Pho Ga Go is a takeout pop-up located inside Crab Hut at The Village in Mira Mesa. You have to order by noon and at least 24 hours in advance on Tock and then schedule a pickup time. On weekends, the pickup time range is from 12 to 3 pm while on weekdays the pickup time slot is from 4 to 7 pm. The menu was simple with three major items... Phở Gà (chicken phở), Chả Giò (egg rolls), and Gỏi Gà Xé Phai (chicken salad). The chicken phở was available with two meat types, dark (leg and thigh) or white (breast and wing). I chose the latter for my order along with a set of five egg rolls. The kitchen prepared the broth by slowly simmering the liquid over 12 hours with chicken bones. A generous spread of herbs was added to the soup. Fresh, thick noodles were used instead of thin rice vermicelli at most Vietnamese eateries. Typical garnishments were also provided like cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and lime wedges. When I arrived at 4:00, there were already a few customers who had checked in ahead of me. A pickup table was arranged to the right of the entrance when you walked inside Crab Hut. I thought that orders would have been already bagged and ready to go, however the worker was still slowly assembling each one. After a 15-minute wait, I was given a paper bag containing multiple takeout vessels. One held the five egg rolls, another was filled with the soup, a third had the noodles and meat, and the last contained the garnishments. The egg rolls were wrapped with rice paper as opposed to egg noodle paper. They had a good amount of filling made up of pork, shrimp, taro, wood ear mushroom, carrot, and mung bean noodle. The issue was that each one was tiny in size. For a similar price of six dollars for five pieces, I have visited another place where the size was nearly double that of what I received here. A cup of nước chấm (fish sauce) was provided for dipping. Red Boat fish sauce, sugar, chili, and calamansi were the ingredients. As for the chicken noodle soup, the broth was light and fragrant. It was the best component by far. The amount of white chicken meat was decent. I wasn't a fan of the wider noodles which needed a greater amount in the order. Maybe it's because I am just accustomed to thin vermicelli. My takeout experience at Pho Ga Go was at a level between three and four stars.

    Tried Pho Ga Go in Mira Mesa and overall it was okay, but not great. The individual servings were sold out, even as you need to order a day in advanced, so we got the family size. There's only so much flavor you can really extract from chicken, and I personally prefer the depth of a traditional beef bone broth. The toppings helped a lot though, especially the ginger spice sauce, which definitely boosted the flavor. Noodles and veggies were fresh and cooked well, so no complaints there. We also ordered the spring rolls, but they were very small for the price, which was a bit disappointing. All in all, it's a decent spot if you're specifically craving chicken pho, but for me it doesn't quite compare to more traditional pho options.

    This week's special, Mì Vịt Tiềm

    The food here at Pho Ga Go is FANTASTIC. I have eaten a lot from here and a few examples are Chicken Pho, Chicken Rice, and Vit Tiem noodles. Chicken Pho, the noodles were soft, there were a lot of chicken, the chicken was tender, and the broth was amazing, the flavor of it is exactly like the flavor of traditional Hanoi Pho. Chicken Rice was really good, especially the chicken, which had A LOT of skin on it and is very juicy and soft, and the Canh Cai Ngot (Vietnamese Choy Sum Soup) which was brilliant. The special dish i ate the most recently is the Vit Tiem Noodles. The noodles were soft. The duck was also very very soft, juicy and tender. The addition "toppings" were incredible like the mushroom and ky tu (Goji berries). The service here was very good. The people was very friendly. The atmosphere was fresh. I personally think this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in San Diego and this would stand out a lot when comparing with different Vietnamese restaurants, too.

    We absolutely love Pho Ga Go! We had been picking up their orders to go for awhile and were so impressed with the overall quality! We recently dined in with them for lunch at their Crab Hut Mira Mesa location and loved it. Excellent service and the food was even better! Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food!

    Service was quick and nice! I got the #3, very light and clean broth Went around 10:30 on a Friday and was not busy

We phoned in before driving there and they answered all our concerns and questions. The staff were all very friendly, very accommodating, and the place was organized and decorated.

The only thing to keep in mind is that parking is a bit limited, and was a bit busy and not as easy to get into--also, the restaurant has you order up front and they'll bring you the food to your table. The water is self-serve. Overall, a good first time experience. We're not from the area but would definitely come back to try more items on their menu.

The chef knows what they're doing because the textures of this salad were very well conceived as well--top layer of crispy fried shallots, chewy layer of thinly sliced cuttlefish, and expertly julienned mango plus plum in a delightful fish sauce/chili dressing. Fiancee got the fried soft shell crab, which was delicately prepared and served with a sweet and savory oyster sauce-esque topping. Neither of us had ever seen Vietnamese rice infused with fish roe before, but this dish was served with it and fiancee thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

The restaurant is very trendy and a perfect spot for a date or intimate dinner with a small party. For appetizer we ordered house-made baguette and French butter, duck liver pate, and kanpachi crudo. The baguette with the French butter was so fresh and tasty. It was hard to stop eating it. The pate was also delicious and the kanpachi crudo was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We also ordered the crispy chicken wings, house made egg noodles and smoked dry aged duck for entrees to share. The winds were very flavorful and the sauces that came with it were a great pairing. The noodles the smoked duck was a great size for sharing and came with lots of veggies and sides. The duck was perfectly cooked and delicious. The noodles were yummy but were outshined by the rest of the dishes. We ordered the pickled papaya and marinated cucumbers for sides. In hindsight we definitely had too much food and probably didn't need the sides but both were great compliments to the other dishes. For cocktails I ordered the nuoc mami but ended up preferring the water buffalo. Both were good but I did really enjoy the clarified pho reduction in the water buffalo. Service was friendly and attentive. They packaged up our menu nicely as we were celebrating birthdays. Overall I had a great first time at Kingfisher and would definitely recommend a try.
